Mining raw materials
and cutting routes
without drilling and blasting

Surface Miners can mine raw materials such as coal, gypsum, salt, phosphate, bauxite or lime in open-cast mines. They mine commodities selectively, ensuring a high quality and optimum exploitation of the deposit. Surface Miners are also used to cut routes or lower tunnel floors. Centrally positioned underneath the machine, the cutting drum has a customized design to match all customer requirements. The extracted material can be deposited behind the machine in windrows, sidecast via an integrated discharge conveyor or loaded directly onto transport vehicles.
